Lulu faces the constant question, "What are you?" Frustrated, she turns to her brother, Zane, for help. Together, they create a powerful phrase that allows Lulu to assert her identity on her own terms. As she navigates the complexities of being multiracial, Lulu learns to express who she is, not just what others see. Will her new approach change how the world perceives her? Discover Lulu's journey of self-definition and empowerment.
From the publisher
Lulu loves her family, but people are always asking What are you? Lulu hates that question. Her brother inspires her to come up with a power phrase so she can easily express who she is, not what she is. Includes a note from the author, sharing her experience as the only biracial person in her family and advice for navigating the complexity of when both parents do not share the same racial identity as their children.
